Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR) Automatic Turbulence Reports

Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR)
Automatic Turbulence Reports
NBAA Program Overview – October 2009
Program Background
•
•
•
•
FAA Program
Builds on Delta’s previous automatic turbulence reporting efforts
Uses a open source metric - Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR)
Current phase of effort aimed at demonstrating “proof of concept”
that automatic turbulence data can deliver benefits to an airline
operation in the areas of safety, capacity and operational
efficiencies
•
EDR: Real time, scientific, objective aircraft independent
measure of atmospheric turbulence, down linked via ACARS
• Measures “Sea State” rather than vehicle response
Data Coverage: Now on all Delta B737NGs, about 100 UAL
airplanes, and soon, 327 B737NGs at SWA

Program Vision
Better Data for Better Decisions
• More and Better Data to drive enhancements in:
• Safety
• Capacity
• Operational Efficiencies
• Ways to improve
• Recognize Limits of Current State - ATC chat room
• Better communication = Push & Pull
• Greater adherence to flight planned altitude
• Proof-of-Concept = Baby Step
• Greater Integration Necessary

EDR Reports
2 Types
1. Threshold (Light
turbulence or
greater)
2. MDCRS/routine
reports (provides
data on smooth
rides)

EDR and Alternative Approaches
• “Light, Mod…,” Terminology somewhat arbitrary
• This terminology is based typically on aircraft response,
but EDR defines atmospheric(sea state)
• EDR thresholds are loosely calibrated to response of B757
• Much better than current state (i.e. PIREPS)
• Turbulence Depiction different for alternative methods
• Conversion between Atmospheric State & Aircraft Response
currently feasible
• EDR Viewer still evolving for all users

EDR Viewer
• Filters
• GTG2 – Appears to be much improved
• “Inspect Values” for history of EDR reported along the entire
route of a given flight
• “Flight Path Tool” for Vertical Cross Section of EDR Data
reported along a user defined route
• Viewer quirks and workarounds
